I don't think that's possible at all. Depending on the software you run, references can hide everywhere. Just from memory, IE, Outlook, mstsc and various media players store information about other network devices, zones, DCs etc. in the registry, conveniently scattered across HKLM, HKCU and HKU. A registry cleaning tool might help with some of those. Why do you want to do that?

ipconfig /flushdns can help if the dns entries are cached on your local machine. The computer names can also be announced by your router or a wins server, then, to my knowledge, you can't remove them locally.
